Day 4 of the JJ Giltinan 18ft Skiff World Championship, presented by The Winning Group, was a far better day for the 27-boat fleet when a perfect North East breeze, on Sydney Harbour today, replaced the extremely light conditions which forced the postponement of one race on Day 3 of the championship. The racing was spectacular in the 15-18 knots NE wind and victory results were split in the two races, although the defending champion still holds the overall lead despite not scoring a win today. In the opening race (Race 4) Shaw and Partners Financial Services-Australia (Keagan York, Max Paul and Tom Anderson) led for most of the race to score a 39s victory over the defending champion, Yandoo (John Winning Jr, Fang Warren and Lewis Brake), with Queensland’s GC Sails (Scott Cunningham, Joel Turner and Dave Cunningham) just another 3s back in third place with a torn spinnaker. The second of today’s races was sailed in identical conditions and this time the honours went to the Lazrus Capital Partners team of Tom Cunich, Marc Chapon and Tim Westwood who scored a brilliant 6s victory over a fast-finishing Yandoo, with Germany’s Black Knight (Heinrich von Bayern, Tom Martin and Andy Martin) just 5s behind in third place. With four more races still to be sailed in the championship and discarding of each boat’s worst performance yet to be brought into play, Yandoo leads the scoring with a five race total of 13 points. Fellow NSW team, Shaw and Partners-Australia holds second place with a total of 19 points. Each team has a worst score of 7th placing so any discard at this point will not change Yandoo’s overall six points lead. GC Sails is presently in third place on 33 points, followed by Black Knight on 37, New Zealand’s consistent ASCC (Campbell Stanton) on 39, Smeg (Ash Rooklyn), Rag & Famish Hotel (Ben Crafoord) on 46, Vaikobi Kirk Mitchell) on 50, Sixt (Jacob Marks) and New Zealand’s Shaw and Partners (Eli Liefting) both on 55 and today’s race winner Lazarus on 58 points. A number of those boats and others outside that list have very large discards in their totals and the table could look quite different after tomorrow’s two races. Race 4: Yandoo, Shaw and Partners-Australia and Vaikobi were well placed at the boat end of the start line and when the fleet tacked after the beat into Taylors Bay, it was Vaikobi which held a narrow lead over a tightly bunched group. The beat to the weather mark past Nielsen Park was spectacular in the NE wind with many teams in contention behind Shaw and Partners-Aust, which had raced to the lead with great boat speed in the conditions. Shaw and Partners turned with a 10s advantage over GC Sails, followed by Vaikobi, Shaw and Partners-NZ, and a group including Black Knight, Smeg and ASCC. Sixt was next, followed by Yandoo which had just completed a penalty turn for an apparent infringement. Shaw and Partners-Aust led the spinnaker run into Taylors Bay and, despite having to avoid harbour traffic, raced to the bottom gates where she held a 12s lead over GC Sails, Vaikobi, Shaw and Partners-NZ, Black Knight, ASCC, Smeg, Sixt and Yandoo, which went to the opposite gate to the leading group. Shaw and Partners’ crew work was excellent on the second beat and the team increased the lead over GC Sails to 30s as spinnakers were set for the run to the finish. Yandoo had recovered brilliantly after the first lap and was now in third place and challenging GC Sails. While Shaw and Partners’ victory was never in doubt, the race between GC Sails and Yandoo was brilliant as the pair raced almost alongside each other to the finish line where Yandoo got the verdict by 3s. Unfortunately GC Sails suffered a torn spinnaker just before the finish line which obviously made the team’s task too difficult against the champion Yandoo crew. Race 5: Black Knight was prominent in the middle of the line at the start with Yandoo and Shaw and Partners-Aust electing to start at the boat end and Lazarus was the leader at the pin end. On the long tack across the harbour to Taylors Bay, the fleet was spread wide as several teams had elected to tack early. Lazarus was in the lead on the LHS closely followed by Andoo-USA (Mikey Radziejowski) with ASCC also in contention. The Lazarus crew were sailing perfectly and held a clear 20s lead over Andoo-USA, ASCC, Sixt, Black Knight, Yandoo and Shaw and Partners-NZ. Lazarus was just as impressive on the run to the bottom set of gates and, despite a strong challenge by Black Knight, maintained a handy margin as the crew set off for the final beat to the weather mark. The chasing pack could make little time up on Lazarus although Yandoo was starting to make a move which got her into second place, within 10s of the leader. Again, the run to the finish was another thriller as Lazarus raced at high speed just ahead of Yandoo and Black Knight to a 6s victory.

Why Folded Steel Sailboats Make Sense

Here's a highlights from the Sydney Multihull Regatta with a great turn up of 15 multihulls including both a fleet of Seawinds, plus a mix of other boats. Despite testing variable conditions we enjoyed some very close racing with much of the fleet just 30 seconds apart on the finish line on race 1. Supported by Seawind Catamarans, Multihull Central in conjunction with the Multihull Cruising Yacht Club Inc. hosted the Sydney Multihull Regatta. We look forward to next year’s regatta and hope to see many more multihulls with us to join in on the fun.

Einhandsegeln klingt nach Freiheit. Und ist es auch. Aber es ist eine Freiheit mit Ansage: Du bist alleine verantwortlich. In Folge zweiundvierzig vom OLP Ocean Life Podcast sprechen Clemens Stecher und Claus Aktoprak darüber, warum man überhaupt alleine segelt: um das Boot besser kennenzulernen, unabhängiger zu sein, Überführungen notfalls alleine zu schaffen oder weil man Zeit anders erleben will. Dann kommt der harte Teil. Was darf auf keinen Fall passieren? Über Bord gehen. Weil es im Zweifel niemand sieht, das Boot weiterläuft und es schnell lebensgefährlich wird. Die Folge zeigt konkrete Gegenmaßnahmen: bewusstes Bewegen an Bord, Einpicken, Rettungsweste, Notruftechnik und vor allem ein Mindset, das dich wach hält. Ein Bild bleibt hängen: Das Wasser ist nicht „zwei Meter neben dir“, sondern ein Abgrund. Neben der persönlichen Sicherheit geht es um Kollisionen und Ausguck. Einhand heißt: keiner schaut mit. Also brauchst du Rhythmus und Systeme. Kurz rausgucken. Rundumblick. Wiederholen. Dazu kommen Ordnung und Konsequenz: alles hat seinen Platz, das Boot ist vor dem Auslaufen „bereit für mehr“, Luken zu, Ventile gecheckt, Autopilot im Griff. Und im Hafen? Manöver werden in kleine Schritte zerlegt und geübt, bis sie sitzen. Am Ende kündigen die Hosts an: Das Thema schreit nach einer kleinen Reihe. Hafenmanöver, Schlaf, Langfahrt und Versicherungsfragen stehen als nächste Kapitel schon im Raum. Keypoints • Warum Einhandsegeln: Boot beherrschen, Freiheit, Zeit anders erleben, Notfall-Kompetenz aufbauen • Größtes Risiko: über Bord gehen. Konsequenz: Einpicken, bewusst bewegen, Notfall-Setup • Kollisionsvermeidung: regelmäßiger Rundumblick, Timer-Rhythmus, Technik als Hilfe, aber nicht als Ausrede • Ordnung und Vorbereitung: alles sturmfest, gleiche Abläufe ohne Ausnahmen, Autopilot muss zuverlässig sein • Manöver: in kleine Schritte zerlegen, trocken üben, Hafenabläufe konsequent vorbereiten--- Egal, ob Ihr einhand segelt, mit einer Crew unterwegs seid oder gerade erst mit dem Segeln beginnt – dieser Podcast liefert Euch fundiertes Wissen und praktische Einsichten, die auf dem Wasser Gold wert sind.

Quando o Mar Chama Travessia da Refeno Uma história de coragem, vento, decisões no limite e da conexão profunda entre o homem e o oceano. A travessia da Regata Internacional Recife–Fernando de Noronha, conhecida como Refeno, é considerada a maior regata oceânica do Brasil, reunindo velejadores de todo o país para enfrentar cerca de 300 milhas náuticas de mar aberto entre Recife e o arquipélago de Fernando de Noronha. Agora essa experiência ganha vida em um documentário que mostra não apenas a competição, mas a emoção da travessia, os desafios do oceano e o espírito da vela oceânica. Capitão: Cláudio Copello Tripulação: Carolina Copello Cássio PereiraJean Carlos Caetano José Sebastião Adriana Andrade Felipe Dias

Neste episódio do Hashtag Sal, a conversa gira em torno de três perguntas que muita gente tem curiosidade de fazer, mas quase ninguém responde com calma: qual o menor barco que alguém pode usar para dar a volta ao mundo, quem mora em um veleiro é pobre ou apenas escolheu outro tipo de vida, e como ficou a questão do IPVA para barcos no Brasil. A partir de perguntas de vocês, o papo vai do universo das grandes travessias oceânicas até a realidade prática de quem vive a bordo. Tem reflexão sobre tamanho de barco para volta ao mundo, sobre segurança, conforto, autonomia, patrimônio e também sobre o preconceito que ainda existe com a vida em veleiro. Ao longo do vídeo, eu comento casos reais, falo sobre o recorde do menor barco a dar a volta ao mundo, discuto o que de fato importa numa embarcação de cruzeiro e entro numa questão muito concreta para quem mora no mar: o impacto que a cobrança de IPVA para barcos pode ter sobre quem não vê o barco como luxo, mas como casa. Neste episódio você vai ver: qual foi o menor barco que já deu a volta ao mundo qual seria um tamanho mais realista para um veleiro de cruzeiro se morar em veleiro é sinônimo de pobreza ou de liberdade o que muda quando o barco é casa e patrimônio ao mesmo tempo como está a discussão sobre IPVA para barcos por que viver a bordo desafia muitos preconceitos No fim, este episódio fala de barco, imposto e travessia, sim. Mas fala também de uma pergunta maior: o que é riqueza de verdade? Deixa tua opinião nos comentários: viver em veleiro parece liberdade, dificuldade, ou um pouco dos dois?

It’s pure adrenaline carrying us for the last day of this hardstand project! It’s been 82 days since we bought this 57ft Kelsall Catamaran at auction - abandoned, derelict and full of potential! We’ve completed a mountain of work, learning new skills and nurtured new friendships. This week we have some much needed backup with the support of friends as we push to finish our wet exhaust systems and test run the motors with them, sort out our props, get our anchor and chain on the boat plus install the final thru hulls and valves! It’s a tight deadline and we are flogged from a week of late nights and big days but we are closer than we have ever been to success and the safety of launching the boat and not going broke on hardstand fees. Let’s do this together!

INSIDE GREAT LAKES SAILING SEASON SEVEN SHOW NO. 153 - For the third show of the season, we get off 2026 with a big bang as sailing icon Peter Harken joins us with his wife, Dr. Edit Olasz, the inventor of a great sunscreen, HarkenDerm, to converse about his career, the value of the Midwest work force and how he met his wife. So interviewing a sailing icon should be enough for our little show, but we push ahead. Our expert sailor Wally Cross joins to outline the best way to find cremates at all levels and we embark on what could be the biggest sailing story since Dennis Conner lost the America's Cup. John Sweeney, an AC veteran, world champion and one of the best sailors this country has produced, joins us to talk about his complaint filed with the New York Attorney's General office about the AC Deed of Gift, which is the organizing document that has guided the America's Cup organizers since 1857. Sweeney does not believe the Cup competition has been operated the way the Deed of Gift is written in more than two decades and he's asking the New York AG to weigh in on his complaint. The New York courts oversee the infamous sailing trust managed by the New York Yacht Club. We chat with Sweeney after conversations with a few folks in the AG's office in Albany, New York, a couple of knowledgable folks who reside in Auckland and Sailing Illustrated's Tom Ehman, a gentleman who over saw a number of Cups during his AC reign of more than 25 years. Right or wrong, left or right, Sweeney makes a powerful point during this interview and IGLS knows that's accurate because a few media types around the country have already began to challenge Sweeney's findings or complain that the America's Cup has no relevance. The critics might be right, or they might be wrong, but if John Sweeney's legal actions have the desired result he is hoping for in the near future, we're talking a real game changer with a storyline that will easily make the ESPN SportsCenter highlights, so stay tuned and see what's what.

Kamangnene celebrates the rice harvest in Casamance. It's when locals must welcome people at their homes and offer them food and drinks. Then in the evening folks gather in forest clearings to watch boys and men wrestles and newlyweds are presented. These are celebrations of the Diola people who live in this region of Senegal. The exact date of this annual festival is not known to anyone but the king a week before it takes place. Luck or timing for us could not have been better. Who knew about this. Not even Mana. We are well fed and drunk on palm wine. Perfect to stroll through the forest on ancient paths to the boisterous clearing. There are newlyweds and wrestlers on display. Let the music and fights begin.

Welcome back to another episode of WE|Sail. In this video, we're sharing the 5 must-have systems on our catamaran that keep us safe, self-sufficient, and sane while cruising remote anchorages. From navigating coral-filled passes in zero visibility to preventing those stressful anchoring moments (you know the ones!), these are the game-changers that make offshore cruising not just possible, but enjoyable. After seven years of living on our sailboat full time and sailing over 30,000 nautical miles—from the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal, up the Pacific coast of Mexico, across the South Pacific, and now exploring Fiji—we've learned what gear is essential and what just takes up space. What we cover: ✅ Our complete ground tackle system + the camera that saved our relationship ✅ How OpenCPN changed everything for reef navigation ✅ Why autopilot is our most valuable "crew member" (honorable mention) ✅ Living off-grid with watermakers (rain water collection) and solar ✅ Sail Wardrobe- why we have an arsenal of cloth Whether you're outfitting a boat for cruising or already out here, this is what 7 years of real-world experience has taught us actually matters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⚓ Thanks for watching!

Join Jude and Richard from Sailing Helios for a full walkthrough of the brand-new Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 455 straight from the Düsseldorf Boat Show 2026! This 45-footer (LOA 14.28 m) is already one of the stars of the show — it had an incredibly strong debut with 8 boats sold on the floor alone. Jeanneau has nailed the perfect mix of performance sailing and liveaboard comfort, and we were seriously impressed by how cleverly they’ve used every single inch of space. In this episode, we show you everything we loved most: • The massive forward sail locker (sailors are calling it a true “monster” — easily one of the best in class) • The brand-new integrated workshop/storage area (our absolute favourite — it easily fits tools, spares, washer/dryer, extra fridge or even ventilated produce storage) • The bright, spacious interior that feels way bigger than 45 ft • Clever storage solutions everywhere, ergonomic cockpit, walkaround decks and a layout that’s perfect for short-handed cruising or family adventures Reviewers and visitors at the show are raving about it being “practical, user-friendly, ergonomic and one of the best cruising boats in its class” — with thoughtful design that makes real-world sailing and living aboard so much easier. We really like this boat — it just feels right. What do you think — would the new Sun Odyssey 455 make your shortlist?

Tuesday Tip ⛵ Before you fall in love with the layout, ask for the paperwork. Here are 3 records every serious catamaran buyer should review: 1) Engine service history 2) Saildrive and underwater gear service records 3) Standing rigging age and replacement history A beautiful boat can hide expensive surprises. The records usually tell the real story. Thinking about buying a catamaran? Catamaran Central can help you spot the green flags — and the red ones.

#BarcheAVela #VivereInBarca #GiroDelMondo In questo video vediamo 3 piccole barche a vela economiche con cui puoi vivere a bordo e fare il giro del mondo. Non servono sempre barche enormi: esistono barche a vela sotto i 10 metri (meno di 9,40 m) che, se ben progettate, possono diventare perfette per vivere off-grid e navigare anche in solitaria. ⛵🌍 Vedremo cosa serve davvero su una barca a vela per viverci dentro: dalla gestione delle vele con roller furling, ai motori affidabili, ai servizi di bordo come il bagno nautico, fino alla disposizione degli spazi per la vita quotidiana. Tutto ciò che conta quando vuoi comprare una barca economica e partire per lunghe navigazioni. In questo episodio analizziamo tre barche a vela reali attualmente in vendita online, quindi non solo teoria: vedremo anche gli annunci, i prezzi e perché queste barche possono rappresentare un’occasione per chi sogna la vita in mare. Le tre barche protagoniste del video: ⛵ Hurley 800 – una piccola barca a vela inglese famosa per la sua robustezza e per la capacità di affrontare il mare anche con equipaggio ridotto. ⛵ Kirie Feeling 920 – un classico cruiser francese molto intelligente negli spazi, ideale per vivere a bordo e navigare con costi contenuti. ⛵ Nova Lux 800 (Motor Sail) – una barca versatile che unisce vela e motore, perfetta per chi cerca autonomia e facilità di gestione. Parleremo di: • vivere su piccole barche a vela • barche a vela economiche • barche sotto i 10 metri per vivere a bordo • navigazione in solitaria (solo sailing) • barche per il giro del mondo • come scegliere la barca giusta per vivere in mare Se il tuo sogno è comprare una barca a vela economica, viverci dentro e magari partire per un grande viaggio, questo video potrebbe darti idee molto concrete. Sul canale Giorgio e il mare trovi storie di mare, barche a vela classiche, restauri, navigazioni e consigli reali per chi ama la vita in mare. 🌊 Iscriviti al canale per non perdere i prossimi video.

This week on Escapade, we’ve got a mix of thoughtful gifts, new skills to learn, and some exciting upgrades for the boat. A viewer and talented craftsman, Aaron from The Barefoot Sander, kindly sent us some beautiful handmade pieces for Escapade, including a custom spice rack that completely transforms our galley. It’s always amazing to see the support from this community, and Aaron’s craftsmanship fits perfectly onboard. Next, we pick up a second-hand Sailrite sewing machine, which means it’s finally time for us to learn how to sew and start repairing some of our own canvas. Before installing our new mainsail, we put the machine straight to work repairing our sail bag — our first real test learning how to use it. After that, it’s time for one of the upgrades we’ve been most excited about. We pick up our brand new custom mainsail, made by the incredible team at South East Asia Sails in Phuket, Thailand, and finally get it installed on Escapade. And to round out the upgrades, we install brand new Cromox 318L stainless steel anchor chain to pair with our trusted Rocna anchor — a serious ground tackle upgrade as we continue preparing Escapade for the adventures ahead. Boat upgrades, new skills, and another big step forward as we keep getting Escapade ready for the miles ahead. 🔧 Links & Resources From This Episode South East Asia Sails – Phuket, Thailand Custom sails and sail repairs Website: https://www.seasailsphuket.com Email: info@seasailsphuket.com Cromox Stainless Steel Anchor Chain High-grade stainless steel chain designed for marine environments Website: https://www.cromox-us.com Phone: +1 314-578-7035 Our Anchor Rocna Anchor – one of the most trusted anchors for cruising boats worldwide Website: https://rocna.com The Barefoot Sander (Aaron) Beautiful handcrafted woodworking: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083259516836 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebarefootsander LOVE OUR CONTENT??

Um downwind épico no litoral de Florianópolis, saindo da Barra da Lagoa e seguindo pela costa selvagem até a Praia do Moçambique, uma das praias mais preservadas do Brasil.

Big changes are happening in the world of superyachts, and few stories show that better than DRAAK. In this vlog, we discuss the remarkable rebuild of the former Equanimity at OceanCo in the Netherlands, where she has been transformed from a highly luxurious superyacht into a serious support vessel. It is a fascinating shift in purpose, and one that says a lot about how yachting is evolving. From her former main salon becoming a crew mess, to the beach club being turned into a dive centre, this is not just a refit… it is a complete reinvention. We also talk about the growing popularity of support yachts, why owners are increasingly drawn to them, and whether rebuilding an existing yacht can really make more sense than starting again from scratch. It opens up a much bigger conversation about utility, adventure, sustainability, and the future of large yacht ownership. Along the way, we also touch on several other major yachting news stories, including the striking explorer yacht PROJECT 03, the newly revealed AL REEM, the second Amels 80 known as NETTUNO 2, and a viewer question about which classification society is considered the strictest. If you enjoy yacht news, industry insight, and a bit of behind-the-scenes perspective from inside the brokerage world, this one is for you.

Wie ist es, in zwei männerdominierten Branchen zu arbeiten – im Cockpit und auf dem Deck einer Segelyacht? In dieser Folge spricht Johanna mit Julia, Pilotin und Skipperin bei Join the Crew. Weltweit sind nur rund 5–7 % der Pilot*innen Frauen, im Segelsport sieht es ähnlich aus. Julia erzählt, wie sie ihren Weg ins Cockpit gefunden hat, und was Teamwork, Vertrauen und klare Kommunikation mit echter Sicherheit zu tun haben. Außerdem spricht sie offen über Vorurteile, über Momente, in denen sie unterschätzt wurde, und darüber, warum Kompetenz wichtiger ist als Geschlecht. Eine Folge über Frauen in männerdominierten Berufen und darüber, warum der Himmel manchmal eben doch pink ist. Join The Crew ist eine Abenteuerreise-Community für alle, die Natur, Abenteuer und Crew-Spirit feiern. Wir reisen in kleinen Gruppen (ca. 8–14 Leute) auf ausgewählten Routen – begleitet von erfahrenen Guides oder Skipper*innen. Viele Touren sind anfängergeeignet und verbinden „mittendrin statt nur dabei“ mit echten Local Experiences. Unser Ziel: Aus einer Gruppe Fremder wird eine kleine Familie und aus deinem Urlaub eine Once-in-a-lifetime-Experience. Alle Touren & Termine: ⁠join-the-crew.com⁠

Vanlife klingt nach Freiheit, Sonne und Meerblick. Aber wie ist es wirklich, wenn das Zuhause auf einen Parkplatz passt? Sven lebt seit über vier Jahren Vollzeit im Van und nimmt euch mit hinter die Kulissen. Wie funktioniert der Alltag mit Wasser, Strom und Dusche? Wo darf man stehen und wo lieber nicht? Wie sicher ist das Ganze? Und warum fühlt man sich im Van manchmal sogar weniger allein als in einer Wohnung?

Gruppenreise nur für Extrovertierte? Segeln nur für Profis? Ja klar, und Sonnencreme ist nur was für Vampire. Dennis & Johanna machen den Reisemythen-Realitätscheck: Warum du nicht der lauteste Mensch im Raum sein musst, um eine Gruppenreise zu feiern, wieso Segeln für Anfänger absolut klargeht, und weshalb Outdoor-Abenteuer kein Bootcamp sind. Bonus aus Kolumbien: „Zeig nicht deine Papaya“ – klingt lustig, ist aber ein echter Travel-Lifehack.
